Title
Racialized Formations of Learning In and Across Contexts
Abstract/Description
This research brief, written by Ezekiel Dixón-Roman, provides a way of understanding what racializations are, discusses some of the important research literature on the impact of racializations in education, and highlights the potential of comprehensive education policy.
“To address the concerns of racialized formations of learning in and across context, policymakers need to consider social policies that take on a public health approach to education. Education, like racialization, is a social process that is ubiquitous in the everyday acts and interactions of being human. Policy approaches, then, are needed that go beyond schooling and directly challenge and mitigate the hierarchizing and differentiating sociopolitical relations in society. This would necessarily include a more comprehensive approach to education that includes spaces and practices such as libraries, museums, childcare centers, health education and clinics, afterschool programs, parenting practice workshops, prenatal services, mental health services, group counseling, among many others. These social policies not only need to address inequities in structural arrangement and ecological conditions but also do the social and cultural work of radically shifting ideologies of difference.”
